Get Stuff We Love

The little black dress (aka the LBD) has made a name for itself for being extremely versatile, not to mention flattering.

After all, a good many of us have probably gone through the dance of trying on more colorful, detailed options only to revert back to the 'gold standard' before running out the door.

We've definitely been there, which is why we’re rounding up a variety of sleek, comfy, wear-several-times-a-week-without-anyone-noticing LBDs that will make getting ready easier and faster than ever before.

Read on as we break down seven LBDs every woman should have in her closet and offer up some of our own top picks along the way.

This versatile midi dress from ModCloth can be worn two ways: either free-flowing for maximizing comfort or cinched at the waist for maximizing curves. You can also switch up where you tie the bow for more variety.

For date night

If you’re looking to spice things up a bit, look no further than this LBD from Trouve. A ruched seam down the front sculpts the figure-skimming fit of this chic dress styled with an illusion neckline and sleeves.

The one-shoulder trend doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon! This dress is classy and sophisticated while still being fashion-forward. It's cut in a flattering silhouette that's both slimming and a little flirty.

For girls night out

The embellishments along the bottom of this LBD from Rachel Roy just ooze fun. Plus, the shift dress cut is extremely flattering (read: loose) so you don’t need to worry about anything at dinner other than having a great time.

For a formal affair

A wedding is another event that can leave you spinning, or at least it could have until now. This v-neck gown from Heaven & Earth is the epitome of classic elegance, and is fitted with a mermaid flare for added mobility on the dance floor.
